Bath re-enamelling in Hassell Street, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Hassell Street
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
